Summary

Federal Street School is a public elementary school in Greenfield, MA serving grades K–4 with 195 students, and it belongs to the Greenfield district, which ranks 336th of 351 districts statewide (4th percentile). Statewide, Federal Street ranks 686th of 899 schools in 2025–2026 — the 24th percentile, with 1 star. That is the school's highest percentile since 2016–2017, and it reflects steady improvement from 9th percentile in 2022–2023 to 17th in 2023–2024, 19th in 2024–2025, and 24th now. Even so, it remains in the bottom quartile of Massachusetts elementary schools.

Locally, Federal Street is the strongest of its closest Greenfield peers. It outperforms Newton School (1st percentile, 0 stars) and Discovery School at Four Corners (14th percentile) in both ELA and math, and also exceeds nearby Sheffield Elementary School. On 2025–2026 MCAS tests, 27.85% of students scored proficient in English Language Arts and 29.11% in math — above the Greenfield district averages of 22.53% ELA and 19.00% math, but below the state averages of 40.03% and 41.11%. Among nearby schools outside the district, Federal Street trails Conway Grammar, Deerfield Elementary, Erving Elementary, Gill Elementary, Bernardston Elementary, and Buckland-Shelburne Regional in one or both subjects.

Inside the school, 4th grade ELA is the clearest weak point: 24.32% proficient, versus 30.95% in 3rd grade ELA and far below the state's 4th grade average. Math is steadier, with both grades near 29%. Results also vary by student group: female students rank in the 30th percentile statewide while male students rank in the 17th, and low-income students and students in special education rank in the lower range statewide. On resources, per-student spending was $18,886 in 2020–2021, below most nearby comparison schools, and the student-teacher ratio was 11.2 in 2024–2025 — higher than Conway, Deerfield, or Erving.
